Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
In the early stages of design the computer-aided modelling support is still insufficient. It is here shown as an efficient tool for material selection criteria, an effect-catalogue followed by a model simulation. This catalogue is a continuous application system which enables the search of the adequate material for a specific construction problem. It offers the required material equations and, if desired, it simplifies the further calculation as it provides a simulation block for each particular material equation. A semi-active suspension system including an adjustable ER damper will be considered in order to explain the use of this effect-catalogue.
